Once cited in Dow Jones Publications as a “prototypical intrapreneur,” Robert Bouvier has literally built his entire executivecareer on that definition—even before the term “intrapreneur” came into common use. A high energy, fiscally conscious,and goal-driven technology executive, Robert Bouvier approaches each new business challenge with his intrinsic flair forinnovation, creative problem-solving, and measured risk-taking to drive consistent bottom-line improvements andshareholder returns.

Robert Bouvier began his career on a path that is rare among other IT executives. Having earned his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from one of the nation’s top accounting schools, and armed with his CPA credential, Robert’s goal was tocomplement his natural technical savvy with a strong foundation in business and finance. The best way to do this, he felt, was to join a Big 8 firm within the auditing practice. Thus, in 1983 he accepted his first position with Xxxxx where hegained extensive public accounting experience and earned promotions to senior manager. On the partner track at Xxxxx,by 1993 Robert found himself intrigued by the “world” of the investment bankers he interfaced with daily. Thus, whenoffered an IT position with Xxxxxxx within the high-yield bond trading group, Robert jumped at the chance to apply hisinformation technology, finance, and accounting skills to trading.

Recognized as a high-potential executive, in 1996, Robert’s career took a ten-fold leap in responsibility when he wassought out by a former Wall Street associate and accepted a Divisional CIO position with a $20 billion division of the $40billion Xxxxxxx. Easily making the transition from managing 40 people at Xxxxxxx to managing 500 people with globalIT responsibility and a $130 million budget at Xxxxxxxxx (one of the single largest traders of crude oil worldwide), RobertBouvier’s career really had nowhere to go but up. He didn’t disappoint, championing the complete overhaul andmodernization of the company’s archaic trading systems and architecture. Within less than two years, he had led his teamin building $30 million in trading floors in three countries, while ensuring a 24X7, 99.999% reliability environment. His

groundbreaking work in installing and executing mission-critical systems was recognized in a Wall Street and Technology  article that praised him for “innovative delivery of knowledge management systems.”

In 1999, Robert’s career took another leap forward when Xxxxx’s Jane Doe invited him to join Xxxxxx (a $6 billionXxxxx affiliate), which was known at the time as one of the “hottest” companies to work for, with a reputation for hiring only the world’s top talent. As CIO with global authority for IT operations supporting 8,000 employees worldwide,Robert built a new corporate IT department from the ground up, and provided pivotal leadership in building outcorporate systems and integrating eight international acquisitions over the course of two years. Sought out by Xxxx’s VCgroup, during this time, Robert also advised on and provided opinions on potential technology investments. It was in thiscontext that he identified a technology company investment that produced for Xxxxx a 100% ROI in just six months.

  With the well-publicized demise of Xxxxx, Robert moved on as the CTO of a start-up company, leading softwaredevelopment for an industry-first diagnostic hearing testing device that he was instrumental in bringing from concept to

market in just 12 months, ultimately growing the company to $12 million in sales and securing 20 patents for hardware,software, and manufacturing processes. More recently, as the CIO of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx was deeply involved in driving both acquisitional and organic growth strategies as a member of the executive team that grew the company three-fold torecognition one of the largest reinsurance companies in North America.

 Today, Robert Bouvier resides with his wife in Xxxxx, XX. With three grown children, they are available for relocationand Robert is actively seeking his next executive challenge. While open to opportunities, he has focused his search onCIO or other senior technology executive roles in financial services, trading, acquisition-oriented, and other complex,information-intensive companies. Robert can be reached at 555.555.5555 and he maintains a personal website at XXXX  with additional information regarding his career and his credentials.
